CQWW CW from LN8W – report


Posted: December 3rd, 2008 under Contesting, Hamradio. - Translate post.

I joined the team at LA8W/LN8W in CQWW CW this year as well. I have done this since 2003. Only 4 operators this time with LA8AJA, LA9VDA, LB1GB and LB8IB participating in the M/S HP class. My most memorable moment was when KH7C called in on 160M right after we were spotted by K8AZ. Other memorable moments was when JA called in on their sunrise for a new double mult and USA calling in at their sunset at the same time on 160M. The pile-up from North-America on 40M was also fun. The 4-square really works well on that band.

The best low band condx ever and the worst ever high band condx at the same
time. What are the odds?

Congrats to LN9Z(Jan LA9HW, op) for a fantastic SB160 score and thanks to Team
LN3Z for yet again inviting Murphy to their place for the WW CW weekend. Giving
us time to contest in peace.

Memorable moments: 

Called by KH7C Hawaii on 160m.
CE0Y/SM6CUK whispered in on 20m for a double.
Called by HS0ZDY on 80m for a double mult when only 9 minutes left of the contest.
Plus many more that not comes to mind...

We had lots of fun but enough is enough - give us flux, now!

Thanks for all the QSO's.

Bjorn LB1GB & al.
